“And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.”
When he arrived at the house of Jairus, he did not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John and James, and the child's father and mother — the inner three and the parents are the sole witnesses of the resurrection — the intimacy of the miracle requiring privacy. The Messianic Secret applies: the raising of the dead daughter is not a public spectacle but a private act of restoration.
